Succubus (4)
Park Jihun and Shin Jiyeon had been swept into the Special Gate while in Gapyeong, and four full days had already passed. The gate remained sealed because those trapped inside hadn't been wiped out yet. But most people had already written Jihun off as dead.
At first, people mourned deeply, grieving the loss of one of Korea's brightest stars. But as time dragged on, they quickly began to forget about them.
Instead, the narrative shifted. Even though he was the world's only one of his kind, he was still just an F-rank. More and more voices started asking why everyone had made such a big deal about him in the first place.
The very people who had stayed quiet while Jihun was actually there, basking in the public's cheers, now crawled out of the woodwork the moment his death seemed all but confirmed.
“Ha, fuck. All that noise over one F-rank loser.”
“Exactly. Let's be honest, it's us C-ranks who protect the citizens the most, right?”
The majority of those leaving such comments were hunters who had always looked down on Jihun. They resented how he'd gained popularity purely because of his unique skill despite being F-rank.
“Kek, obviously he couldn't even get into Yongwang Guild with a rank that low.”
“For real. His name was gonna fade away sooner or later anyway.”
The same attitude ran through the Yongwang Guild members. Their pride in being recognized for both rank and skill ran deep, so the fact that a mere F-rank hunter had become more famous among the public than they were really pissed them off.
“What are you all doing over here?”
Lee Jeonghyeon approached the hunters who had been badmouthing Jihun, staring at them with sharp eyes.
“Huk?! V-Vice Guild Master!”
“S-Sorry! We'll get back to work right away!”
They jumped in surprise and scattered immediately, terrified of giving Jeonghyeon any excuse to reprimand them.
“......”
Lee Jeonghyeon watched them leave in silence, then let out a deep sigh and gazed out the window.
...Park Jihun. Is this really the end for you?
He'd recently found a truly fascinating subject to watch, but honestly, he wasn't holding out much hope that Jihun was still alive. It was a B-rank gate. On top of that, it was a Special Gate, far more dangerous than a normal one. No matter how special his skills were, the odds of an F-rank like Jihun surviving were basically zero.
He kept wondering if the Association was hiding something about the situation, but given that even they had declared an emergency, it seemed like they weren't expecting much either. There was no hope in sight.
“Huu...”
He kept sighing, heavy with regret.
“Kuuu~ ...Ugh.”
After three straight days and nights of nonstop, insane orgies with the succubi, Park Jihun had finally passed out from exhaustion. He woke up surrounded by soft, plush sensations pressing against him from every direction.
“......”
Pale thighs, plump asses crusted with dried cum and love juices, massive white breasts that looked ready to burst. The soft sensations enveloping him were the bodies of the succubi and his familiars.
The surrounding landscape was a barren wasteland, yet warm, supple female bodies were piled all around him, creating a cozy, comforting warmth. No wonder he'd slept so deeply.
The women were all fast asleep too, worn out from the intense sex with Jihun and the lesbian scissoring they'd done among themselves afterward.
“Ugh...”
Jihun grabbed his aching lower back, sore from three days of relentless fucking, and slowly sat up.
More than fifty women lay scattered around him, all completely naked. Every single one had dried trails of his cum leaking from their holes. It was a carnal forest. Not quite the drunken debauchery of the old saying, but with female bodies covering the ground and filling the landscape like trees, it might as well be called a flesh forest.
“...Hmm.”
For a brief moment he wondered if he'd gone a bit overboard, but the pleasure had been incredible, so he decided everything was fine. He pulled up his status window.
After the notification that he'd made Sira his familiar, several more alerts had popped up, but he'd been too busy railing the succubi to check them properly.
Taming a superior succubus has caused the lower succubi to submit to you.
57 lower succubi have been merged under Intermediate Succubus Sira.
“Oh.”
It was a message saying that when he tamed Sira, all the lower succubi he'd previously claimed had been merged under her. Since they'd originally been her subordinates, they weren't registered as separate familiars. Instead, they functioned like subordinates of a subordinate, meaning Sira could summon them herself.
Huh? 57 of them?
Jihun had definitely fucked fifty lower succubi before. That meant the extra seven...
The lower succubi have automatically submitted after merging under Intermediate Succubus Sira.
Female Monster has been completely subjugated. Female Hunter effect activated.
All stats increased by 2.

All stats increased by 1.
As Jihun had expected, the next series of alerts announced the submission of the seven additional lower succubi, each granting stat increases. Some only gave +1, but the total boost across all stats came to 11. A very respectable amount of growth.
Ah, so those succubi that flew in from the castle during the orgy were the extra seven...
That explained it. Good news all around. But the crucial gate-clear notification still hadn't appeared.
Now that I think about it, Sira did mention that the core was inside her castle.
She'd said something like that right before he started pounding her.
Yeah. Time to clear this gate and head back outside. I've done everything I came here to do anyway.
He'd met succubi. He'd fucked an absolute ton of them. He'd even encountered and claimed a named mid-tier succubus named Sira, experiencing the true taste of a high-class succubus. Now that they all belonged to him, he could summon and enjoy them whenever he wanted.
There was no need to keep having massive orgies with succubi in this gloomy wasteland. In other words, his business in this gate was finished.
He wasn't sure if it was because it was a Special Gate, but it seemed the core existed separately. Once he took it, the gate would clear.
“Sira.”
Jihun tapped her gently to wake her so he could finish his final objective.
“Mmm...”
Sira let out an erotic little moan as she sat up.
“Haaauu~!”
She stretched her arms high, exposing her slender limbs and smooth armpits while her massive breasts jiggled enticingly. It was just a stretch, yet it was enough to drive any man insane. Truly the essence of a succubus.
“Ah, Jihun~!”
When Sira spotted him, she called his name sweetly and threw herself into his arms.
“Hehe, I missed you while I was sleeping, Jihun. My adorable Master.”
A breathtakingly erotic beauty who could make a man cum hands-free just by looking at her was now hugging him tightly and whispering that she loved him. Jihun's urge to hoist her up and fuck her senseless until she passed out was nearly overwhelming.
But he desperately held himself back. It was finally time to leave the gate.
Once we're home, I'll fuck you senseless on a real bed.
As that thought crossed his mind, Sira whispered into his ear.
“There's a bed in my castle too. It's incredibly soft~ No matter how hard you thrust, it doesn't shake at all. So comfortable~”
“Then shall we head to the castle first?”
Jihun immediately caved.
After spending yet another full day on the unbelievably comfortable, perfectly stable bed that seemed to embody the pinnacle of scientific comfort, Jihun and his group were once again surrounded by a sea of female flesh. This time, instead of the wasteland, the carnal forest sprawled across an elegant, antique-style bedroom.
“...O-okay, we're definitely leaving today.”
Honestly, life here didn't seem so bad. He had countless succubi, all the familiars he'd tamed so far, and even his lover Shin Jiyeon. Everyone was here. Sira's castle was stocked with plenty of food, and he could spend the rest of his life doing nothing but fucking beautiful women.
But Park Jihun couldn't allow himself to settle for that.
There are higher-ranked gates out there! Even more insanely hot female monsters waiting for me! I can't just lie around satisfied here!!
His passion for female monsters was strong enough to reject even this life of pure comfort and endless pleasure.
Besides, since it's still a gate, there's always the risk it could disappear at any moment.
His decision also included rational calculation.
“Sira. Show me where the gate's core is.”
“If that's what my Jihun wants, of course. Follow me this way.”
She smiled brightly and led him down into the castle's basement.
And there, floating in the underground chamber...
“...A rune stone.”
It was a stone about the size of a man's fist, covered in mysterious runes, hovering in mid-air.
“That thing suddenly appeared in the castle and tried to connect to another world. I tried to stop it... but I failed.”
Sira spoke with a hint of regret, then suddenly changed her tone.
“But thanks to that, I got to meet my lovely Jihun~ So honestly, I'm grateful. It's a wonderful stone.”
With that, she pulled him into a tight embrace and began rubbing his face vigorously against her massive breasts.
“...I see.”
Jihun enjoyed the soft sensation against his cheek as he thought it over. The rune stone had become the core, so this should have been a normal gate. But Sira had interfered midway and twisted it, turning what should have been an ordinary gate into this distorted Special Gate.
“......”
There were many things he wanted to ask Sira. What was the other world they came from? What exactly were rune stones and gates? The familiars he'd tamed before had all had language barriers, and none of them had been knowledgeable enough about their own world. Most had simply been transported through gates while minding their own business in their territories.
But Sira was different. She knew about rune stones. She knew they could connect to other worlds. Maybe she could answer the questions that Jihun, and perhaps all of humanity, desperately wanted to know.
...But for now, those questions can wait.
The important, lengthy questions could be asked after they got outside. Right now, the priority was claiming that rune stone and clearing the gate.
B-rank Gate (Special) — Land of Succubus Sira has been cleared.
The boss was subjugated instead of killed. A magnificent achievement! All stats permanently increased by 2.
All monsters were subjugated instead of killed. An incredibly magnificent achievement! All stats permanently increased by 4.
Special Gate has been cleared. A magnificent achievement! All stats permanently increased by 2.
Rune Stone acquired. A magnificent achievement! All stats permanently increased by 1.
The moment Jihun picked up the rune stone with his hand, a flood of notification windows poured in, announcing that the gate had been cleared.
